About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

"Fake" Nicoise Salad

"Fake" Nicoise Salad
Super Food Ideas November 2009 pg 58

Fake because it should have tuna but I don't do tuna so replace it with sliced crumbed steak

12 (650g) small chat or baby potatoes, halved
400g baby green beans trimmed
425g tuna in oil, drained flaked (I'm going to use a piece of crumbed steak each cooked and sliced)
250g grape tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup black olives
2 baby cos lettuce hearts (or just cos lettuce) seperated and washed
4 hard boiled eggs, peel quartered
3 anchovy fillets (blurg I'm not using) option, halved length ways

Dressing - whisk ingredients in jug
1/3 olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbl dijon mustard

Boil potatoes for 10mins or until tender, transfer to large bowl.  Cook beans in same saucepan for 2-3min until just tender, drain and refresh under cold water, drain and add to potatoes
Add meat or tuna, tomato, olives, lettuce, egg and anchovy to potato and beans.  Add dressing toss gentle to combine and season with S&P.

Can you fresh tuna if you like about 3 (150g ea) steaks cooked 2-3 mins of each side and flaked into pieces
